 Hello again and welcome to Neekhi Baat. So is COVID finally behind us or Is it that people are walking around with masks because they've learned something new? Are we still under the after effects of COVID? The truth is yes COVID and the fear related to the chest infection is probably gone for most of us but Fortunately in our hip and knee OPD. We are seeing a lot of effects with after side effects of treatments The majority of this is the bones of the hip dying because of a lot of steroids people received in ICU's If this is picked up in early stages, which we are picking up even two to three years After they've had the severe COVID infection. We are in positions to treat this with bony injections We are in positions to treat this with stem cells as the case may be However, that may not be the long-term answer These might be situations where if we pick up early, we can save the natural joints However, even in young patients if the hip bone is destroyed There's no need to be worried and life is not gone past you Hip replacement as a technology if done in the right way can restore your quality of life and Actually give you back the movement and activity for a very very long-lasting period Hip replacements these days can last for even up to 50 and 60 years There are other effects related to our posture which my rehabilitation colleague will mention as well
